Available in concentrated powder and concentrated capsules. Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation.

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Loranthus Formula (Sang Ji Sheng San) is a twelve-herb formula combining Kidney and Liver-tonifying herbs with Blood-nourishing, channel-warming, and Wind-Cold-Damp-dispelling agents to address both the root Kidney Yang deficiency and the Wind-Cold-Damp obstruction in the channels:

  • Sang Ji Sheng (Loranthus parasiticus), Loranthus stem: The chief herb; tonifies Kidney and Liver, strengthens tendons and bones, dispels Wind-Damp, and nourishes Blood; addresses both the root deficiency and the Wind-Damp pathogenic factor.
  • Du Zhong (Eucommia ulmoides), Eucommia bark: Tonifies Kidney and Liver Yang, strengthens tendons and bones, and supports the lower back and hind limb strength alongside Sang Ji Sheng.
  • Rou Gui (Cinnamomum cassia), Cinnamon bark: Warms Kidney Yang, warms the channels, and dispels Cold stagnation; the primary Yang-warming herb in the formula.
  • Xiao Hui Xiang (Foeniculum vulgare), Fennel fruit: Warms the Kidney and lower Jiao, disperses Cold, and moves Qi to support the formula's Yang-warming and Cold-dispersing action.
  • Du Huo (Angelica pubescens), Pubescent angelica root: Dispels Wind-Cold-Damp from the lower body and channels, unblocks channel obstruction, and guides the formula's Wind-dispersing action to the lower limbs and lumbar region.
  • Qin Jiao (Gentiana macrophylla), Large-leaf gentian root: Dispels Wind-Damp, relaxes the tendons, and supports the formula's Wind-Damp-dispersing action throughout the channels and musculoskeletal system.
  • Fang Feng (Ledebouriella divaricata), Siler root: Dispels Wind, releases the Exterior, and supports the formula's Wind-Cold-Damp-dispersing action throughout the channels.
  • Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis), Dong quai root: Nourishes and invigorates Blood, supports Liver Blood, and moistens dryness; addresses the Blood deficiency that commonly accompanies Kidney Yang deficiency patterns.
  • Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong), Sichuan lovage rhizome: Invigorates Blood, moves Qi, and disperses Wind; supports smooth Qi and Blood flow through the channels alongside Dang Gui.
  • Fu Ling (Poria cocos), Poria mushroom: Strengthens the Spleen, leaches out Dampness, and supports the Spleen's role in generating Qi and Blood to sustain the tonifying herbs.
  • Chuan Niu Xi (Cyathula officinalis), Cyathula root: Invigorates Blood, strengthens tendons and bones, and guides the formula's actions downward to the lower body, channels, and musculoskeletal system.
  • Gan Cao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis), Licorice root: Tonifies Spleen Qi, harmonizes the formula, and moderates the actions of the other herbs.

Potential Drug Interactions

Loranthus Formula contains Kidney Yang-tonifying and channel-warming herbs (Sang Ji Sheng, Du Zhong, Rou Gui, Xiao Hui Xiang) alongside Wind-Cold-Damp-dispelling herbs (Du Huo, Qin Jiao, Fang Feng) and Blood-nourishing herbs (Dang Gui, Chuan Xiong) that may interact with certain medications. Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats remains limited.

Medication categories warranting extra caution include hormone-modulating drugs, anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, cardiac medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Do not use in patients with signs of Yin Deficiency. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Loranthus Formula used for in TCVM?

Loranthus Formula is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Kidney Yang deficiency combined with Wind-Cold-Damp obstruction in the channels and collaterals, particularly affecting the back and limbs. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets with musculoskeletal or back-related patterns rooted in Kidney and Liver deficiency with Cold stagnation. Do not use it in patients showing Yin Deficiency signs such as excessive thirst, panting, or heat intolerance, as the warming herbs may aggravate these conditions.

How is Loranthus Formula administered, and what are the recommended doses?

Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation. For dogs and cats using 0.5g concentrated capsules, the general guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily is typical. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs twice daily; the included small scoop holds approximately 0.25g, and the large scoop holds approximately 1.2g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or vomiting.  

Who should not use Loranthus Formula?

Loranthus Formula should not be used in patients showing signs of Yin Deficiency, including excessive thirst, panting, or heat intolerance. The formula's warming and Yang-tonifying herbs are designed for Cold-type patterns and may aggravate Yin Deficiency Heat signs. Your holistic veterinarian will assess your pet's TCVM pattern before prescribing this formula to ensure it fits your pet's constitution and current condition.

Can Loranthus Formula be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?

Loranthus Formula is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Kidney Yang and musculoskeletal support protocol, but your authorizing veterinarian should always guide combination use. Do not use in patients with signs of Yin Deficiency. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly hormone-modulating drugs or anticoagulants, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Loranthus Formula is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. Stop use immediately if your pet develops diarrhea or vomiting.
